Yankees interested in Beltran

[cruzg24]

Carlos Beltran spent the last seven seasons in the Big Apple with the New York Mets before heading out West at the trading deadline to spend the last few months with the San Francisco Giants. But the word from ESPN New York is that he may be moving back to the City That Never Sleeps.

This time, though, it would be with the New York Yankees. The site reports that Beltran's name is on the list as a possible replacement to a fellow switch hitter, right fielder Nick Swisher(notes), who has a $10.25 million option that the team has till Nov. 1 to pick up.
A team official told ESPN that it still has to make a decision on Swisher before figuring out if it will go after Beltran.

The 34-year-old Beltran's career average per season is .283 with 23 homers and 88 RBIs while the soon-to-be 31-year-old Swisher has averaged .254 with 26 homers and 83 RBIs.

they could always trade Swisher for pitching, but it looks like they'll be passing on Beltran
and they should

I think beltran is going to get the shaft this year and end up taking a meh offer
although cant blame teams for being wary of his knees
